I have shelving units for each one, but no specific order, closer to date of purchase, but I re-shelve randomly after I watch. I'm hoping I never get to the point of alphabetizing my movies, even with over 10K DVDs, I never had to and I hope that continues.

I have 2 seperate areas for my movies.

I have a spinner and a rack which holds my 1000+ DVDs/HD movies which are movies we've watched. The DVDs & HD material are seperated, but sorted alphabetically.

The other area is a rack for movies that we havn't seen or are there for a re-watch. Everything here is also sorted alphabeticaly, but the SD DVD & HD material is seperated.

Maybe I'll get a pic up soon...

I keep Red with Red, Blue with Blue, the 2 never chat

Seriously, I like a uniform shelf..arranged alphabetically within each format

The BDs are 10:1 as compared to the HDDVDs in my house

My HD-DVDs and Blu-rays are mixed together in some sort of random order closer to order of purchase than anything else, but well separated from the SD-DVDs.

How do you find anything? Or even know what you have to look for it?

I think I'd spend more time looking for movies than actually watching them.

I wouldn't spend money on something, then forget I had it, that's insane. I don't often go looking for a specific movie to watch, I browse for a few minutes and then choose one. I only buy movies I like (I don't care about bargains), so I can't make a bad decision. If I ever do want a specific movie, or if someone asks to watch/borrow a certain one, I rarely have a problem. I guess I just have a good memory.

I used to have all my high def stuff together alphabetically but I didn't like the way it looked so I made HD DVD/Blu-ray seperate from one another - harder for other people in the house looking for a movie (if they're unsure of format) but better for me

That is a lot of movies to like. You don't buy a single movie you don't like for pure comedic purposes?

Comedic purposes? Like to make the checkout girl laugh?

I'm impressed. I do pretty well remembering what I have in my ~800 DVD collection (I've never rebought something I already own), but I know there is no way I could wrap my brain around 10K discs.

But unless it's the standard definition version, wouldn't that also be red (and thus in the right, not middle)?

I have the first shelf as red, the shelf under it as blue, and all the rest after that as standard def....my only exception is the Heroes HD box set which I keep with all of my other TV box sets (which are specifically separated from my movies) since it fits in there fine and doesn't stand out like the red/blue smaller cases do against standard DVD cases....

No Ghosts of Mars, sorry man. I'll see just about anything at the theaters, but owning is another issue. I'm sure some of the ones I like (if not all) would be considered bad by someone, but I don't buy movies I don't like.

RED upstairs with my A2. Blue downstairs with my PS3 & A3. The bigger 46" TV is downstairs. Since i do not have many titles yet, they are stored by Studio but once it grows, it'll be ALPHA order.
